While most "leather heads" do not enjoy wildland fire, we must still respect and remember that our brothers and sisters are out there, "one foot in the black". The 2008 fire season has claimed 21 lives so far, and it is only August 8th! In the last 2 weeks, our community has seen 11 LODDs of our brothers in No. California. Please, consider helping the families of the dedicated brothers with a donation the the Wildland Firefighters' Foundation at href="http://www.wffoundation.org/index.html">
